I agree with Wildy, there have been some pros and cons in some Religions, that depends on which exact religion you are viewing at this point. Though I must say I don't agree with what you said, science cannot explain everything, its knowledge, but this knowledge is just as flawed with pros and cons as some religions, Faith is a very important thing in life, I know this and anyone else in a Religion can tell you that too. Here is a part of that Faith from Mark 5: 25 to 34 of KJV

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

It wasn't that He was wearing the garments and she had touched His garments that made her whole, it was her Faith in God that had made her whole. She believed and had Faith in him, and it was that Faith and believing in Jesus and in God, that had made her whole again, remember 34: And He said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

See, that is Faith right there, as for the 1st one, it is wrong, there is evidence of God's existence, The Bible is evidence and proof in a book, which is the Word of God.

3 is also wrong, we were given a choice to believe in religion, if its Christianity or some other religion, God gave us will, and He gave us a choice, to use our will to follow his commandments or to do as we please and become a disappointment in the eyes of the LORD.

4 is also wrong, you gain knowledge from the Word of God, reading The Word, studying the Word and believing and having Faith in the Word of God, you will gain knowledge God has for you, by reading the Bible, problem is some people read the Encyclopedia too much, and it gives the wrong kind of knowledge, that depends on what kind of Encyclopedia people are reading.
